BABEHEAVEN HEAVEN

Babeheaven had added brilliant new visuals to their gorgeous debut single 'Heaven'. Born out of a long-standing friendship between lead-singer Nancy and guitarist Jamie, who met working on the same road in Ladbroke Grove, the West London five-piece appeared in earnest earlier in the year with this glorious, swooning alt. pop cut, which swells languidly around a caramel vocal melody and a laid-back groove, emphasised by its warm bass line which ebbs and flows through the action. Complete with reverberating steel drum sounds and a gently, funk-fuelled rhythm, the track was inspired by the passing of Nancy's grandmother and is “about the front you put up and break down in front of people, and how things might’ve been different with someone else around.” 'Heaven' is set for its limited 7" release via taste-maker label Handsome Dad (Spring King, Beach Baby, The Big Moon) on 8 April alongside an extensive run of live shows, including a single launch at London's Corsica Studios on 7 April. -G.O'B
